Spends a lot of time sitting in his office waiting for customers. But when it rains, it pours.

The contract he has with the Chicago PD is far too valuable as his only line of income.

Surprisingly, he doesn't seem to drink heavily.

Trouble aspect in play:

Harry is a powerful wizard. Too powerful. Which means that everybody wants him to serve them. And they offer some nice perks.

He is trying to leave his lawbreaking experience behind him, but the temptation to give in to his dark side is always there, always hungry for more.

My Mother's Silver PentacleOneBackground: Where did you come from?
Grew up son of stage magician (Malcolm). Mother (Maggie) died in birth. Spent much time on road w/dad. Then dad died (brain aneurysm). Adopted by Justin DuMorne, a wizard, to be trained in the arts of magic.

You could retype his various reflections on the past from the various dresden file books here.

The aspect in play:

His silver pentacle is his symbol of faith in magic, and probably family too.

It is the only physical connection he has with his mother who he never knew.

It is also a great light source!
